if you have an overdrive button on the end of your shifter and a D,2,1 in the dash, you'll probably find that the door jamb code is a "U". If it is you have an AODE-W. (AODE-W also has a squarish trans pan)
If not, it's an E4OD (has a more regtangle trans pan with 20 bolts). Really the only 2 automatic 4 speed transmissions Ford used with our year trucks and pushrod engines.
It's NOT a 4R70W, they were only used with modular (4.6/5.4L) engines. I don't care what website you saw it on.

To the OP: really, the easiest way to tell is to look at the tranny pan. If it turns out that you've got an E4OD, I can tell you that the shift solenoid is fairly easy to remove, just drop the pan and all you need is a T30 Torx bit to remove 7 bolts and a 10mm socket to remove a nut on a stud, then pull directly down on the solenoid assembly to dislodge the electrical connector plugin from it's bore on the transmission. You'll need to really clean the passenger side of the transmission before doing this though, to prevent a pound of dirt, gravel and grease from falling into the bore and potentially soiling your transmission. In the pic below, you can see the solenoid shift assembly. It's the frontmost object in the shot:
However, you may want to have a good look at the E4OD connector before damning the transmission. My tranny shifted great, but with only 105,000 miles, my connector wiring looked like this:
The insulation on every wire had completely worn away.
The connector once fixed.

I reread your original post and it makes sense now. I thought you were implying that only the AODE-W had a D,2,1, pattern and an on/off switch on the end of the column shifter. I missed the "and if the door code is U" part. Sorry, it was late last night.
